RSTP on the other hand is much faster than STP. It can
complete a convergence in seconds, so it greatly dimin-
ishes the possible impact the process can have on your
network compared to STP. RSTP reduces the number of
state changes before active ports start learning, pre-
deninganalternateroutethatcanbeusedwhena
node or port fails and retain the forwarding database for
ports insensitive to changes in the tree structure when
recongurationoccurs.
Select whether to Enable or Disable the Spanning Tree
function for the Switch. Next, select whether you wish
to enable STP, RSTP, or MSTP. Again, please note that
only one Spanning tree function can be active at a time.
